MORE THANKS

In thanking our volunteers for the Athletics Ontario Jr/Sr Championships, I failed to mention two Athletics Ontario officials who have a Track North connection and made the trip to Sudbury to help run the meet. John Metcalfe was a starter at the meet and Peter Hocking was the track referee. Thanks!!
